Judging People….is not good….

Judging People-Stereotypes. Intelligence. Beauty. Slut. Whore. Druggie. Alcoholic. Heard them before?

The majority of us (unfortunately) judge people based on their natural attributes. When a girl walks past a group of guys and they whistle at her. When someone gives a speech in class and you laugh at their lisp. When someone walks past and everyone whispers about how ugly they are. The thing is, it doesn’t matter what these people look like, sounds like, dress like, act like; They are all of equal value in God’s eyes. God doesn’t look down upon some people because they have a lisp (Moses had a speech impediment) He doesn’t look down on anyone. Our value is not in our looks or intelligence. It’s based in the fact that we are created in the image and likeness of God. So who are we to decide that one person is not that great? We can’t. Only God can. Our wisdom is nothing compared to his. (1 Corinthians 1:19-20)

Now another thing we tend to do is decided that someone is not as good as we are; We decide they are a horrible person, a slut, a druggie, etc. Do we have the right to do that? Nope. Do we have the right to point out people’s sins and decide they are worse then us? Nope. (Luke 6:37-42) We are not to be hypocrites. We are all sinners. We have no right to condemn others.

So as you go to school or to work, remember that no matter what you would like to think about a person-you have no right to judge them and they are worth just as much as you.
